It looks great. I'll give it a try today and tell you what I think. In the meantime, here's the link to the lbp.me level page, it might be a wise decision to add it into the opening post.

Played it already. The decorations and flowers and all the movement was very nice. Music was a perfect fit, calm and relaxing. I noticed how you used the same material for the three main layers and I felt as though there could be some other material to integrate in that respect. The platforming was fairly simple but is where I had some issues. I kept dying on the most simple tasks, but mostly because in some places once you see the danger or how to avoid it, then its too late. Mainly when you are bounced upward into a new section. It was a good level, though I didn't finish it (kept dying over and over again in a certain spot and the checkpoint was too far, kept having to replay sections over). I liked your previous level a whole lot more. Good job overall, keep it up!2012-06-18 20:12:00

Not a problem, personally, I'm fine either way, since PSN hasn't accepted my password ever since my PS3 crashed and then worked again, so I'm unable to queue levels. But I do know that almost all the time people will bring that up, so I just wanted to sort of get that out of the way, ya know? Anyway though, I've played your level, and here's what I thought. (Please note that in my level reviews, I review while playing the level, so you might see how I actually talk about different sections, from beginning to end, and things like that. Also, if you see a lot of nitpicks, don't worry, it's just that my main goal is to find things that imo, can be fixed, removed, or replaced. But I do make sure to compliment the good stuff.)

------------------------

Dictionary.com defines 'Eden' as "any delightful region or abode; paradise.". That said, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that the title matches well with what the level itself achieves. You're thrown into a beautiful garden in outer-space, with white walls all around, and it's gorgeous, really, nice mix of materials you've got going on. The music accompanying this platformer makes you feel real float-y as you tread the night sky. The use of lighting as well as stickers/decos fit their way into the scenery quite nicely, along with how you used the sticker panels. I thought it was interesting how you fit in stickers like the pink flower onto sticker panels, yet added in objects that were part of the sticker, like how some of the pink flowers were actually grabb-able, and you can see that the rest of the flower was a sticker, that was real neat.

I love the effects you threw in when passing by dandelions, seeing the little seeds fly away, it was a truely nice touch to add into the level, and I'd love to see more effects like these in any future levels you might develop. By the way, I do like the use of stickers in a certain section, yet maybe, around the big, pink-stickered flower, you could add some sort of pink objects to also represent parts of the flower, just like you did with the smaller pink flowers you could swing on, although that could just be me. Here's a picture to show you what and where I mean.

Also, there were plenty of good sounds thrown in, and I loved the pink, flowing goo. Sadly, I reached a point where I could not continue. Before I go any further you'll want to click on the link to the picture below to fully understand. You there? Good. After literally twenty or more tries in this area, I decided to quit the level. Don't get me wrong, I'm always up for a challenge, and have nothing against difficulty, but this seemed less like a challenge, more like....just something I didn't get. It took a few tries at first before landing on the bounce pad, and when I would, obviously I'd bounce. I'm not exactly sure where I'm supposed to head during this, I'm guessing it's intended that I'm switched over to the back layer. Even if I try moving during and after being bounced though, the force of the pads push me into the upper-left direction, and then I bounce on a wall in the same layer, with nothing to grab onto and I'm unable to switch layers, and then I fall back to the ground, impaling onto the spikes. I could just be missing something, but I have tried time after time after time, with no luck on passing this area. If there's a way I'm just not picking up on, please put it somewhere like in a sign nearby, as that would be most appreciated.

TL;DR......

Pros
--------
1. Beautiful atmosphere, with a nice choice of materials and great music teaming up with it.
2. Nice use of sounds, stickers, lighting and decorations. Also, loved the effects of passing by dandelions.
3. Solid, bouncy game-play.

Cons
-------
1. Stuck at a certain part. Unless it's just me, it seems that there's a bit of poor guidance around here.
2. I liked the way you handled some the tiny pink flowers, with the stems and leaves in sticker form, and the flower as a grab-able object. I wish you did something similar with the gigantic pink flower, adding some parts in object form.

Nice job, if you could tell me what I need to do to pass that area, I'd be welcome to give it another try and tell you what I thought about the rest of the level.

EDIT: I'm pretty sure shookie and I quit around the same area.
